{Beautiful Fabric Idea} Quilt Block Framed

I have an extreme weakness for beautiful scrapbook paper, digital scrapbook paper, & fabric. I LOVE fabric. I am not a quilter, I only admire from a far, but had the opportunity to make a quilt block this month. I was so proud of myself that I kept staring at it and decided I should use it for a fall decoration. Yes, it is true, I framed this quilt block and I LOVE it. It is not perfect! :) I will include the pattern that my friend provided me. I hope you enjoy, I sure did. Man, I see how you quilting girls get addicted to quilting. It is FUN! Good Luck.

Fabric was laid out before sewing started.

Quilting Hints for us Amateurs

Seams are 1/4 inch.

Strips need to be carefully cut and sewn together. Precision is important!

Make sure your seams are pressed and starched.

Not sure of a color scheme? Go to your local hardware store pick out your favorite colors or seasonal colors with paint chips and you have an instant color pallet. You will be AMAZED at the amount of fabric choices you have.
